Is del taco an alright fast food joint for the West coast or did I only get lucky that one time?
I rarely ever eat burritos or fast food that matter and it's the only fast food that's ever filled me except for white castle or Pizza

Del taco is very based. They make most stuff to order. Their fish tacos are bomb. All the epic burritos are good and filling. Plus they have one of the best fast food cheeseburgers out there. I actually don't know why they aren't a nationwide chain at this point

Del Taco is the best approximation of actual Mexican food in fast-food form. No, it's not THE BEST TING EVARR!!!!1!!1!!!!111, because it's just fast food, but it's definitely my personal favorite. It's also super consistent no matter where you go. Even the stores that were open here in San Antonio were pretty solid until they had to pull out of Texas because Texans will dogmatically defend whatever was in Texas first, even though the alternatives were shitty TexMex or Taco Bell.

They're my favorite place to go when it's late at night and I don't have anything to eat in the kitchen. It's never busy around 9pm and yeah the food is a step above Taco Bell.

>> No.13661691

Only a select few get to enjoy Del Taco, they're only in a small portion of the country but they are good, amazing compared to Taco Bell, when they have their carnitas fries those are the best, also they used to have these things called the "Big Fat Tacos" which where the best thing on their menu but ever since the political correctness thing took over and you aren't allowed to say fat in public anymore they stopped advertising them with pictures and even on the regular menu but they'll still make them if you ask for "flatbread tacos" they come in chicken or steak I prefer chicken.

Plus Dan the Del Taco Guy was based

Only true dusty SoCal OGs remember Naugles, which was an early competitor of Del Taco and which eventually merged with them in the late 80's. Del Taco is not bad for cheap shitty fast food and it is unironically better than Tito's Tacos.

Del taco is based. I always get the epic steak and potato burrito with bacon, the caramel cheesecake bites and a strawberry lemonade. There's nothing quite like destroying that combo when i'm hungry asf. I used to get the chili cheese fry burrito but they don't have it anymore which is sad. I know wienershnitzl has a chili cheese fry burrito too but last time i tried it it wasn't nearly as good as the del taco version. Might give it a go again tomorrow while i'm thinking about it, though.

Del Taco is unironically my favorite fast food chain. They have an actual value menu with several 300+ calorie items for a dollar or less, which most restaurants have already phased out years ago in favor of $2~3 "value" items. On top of that, their coupon game is unrivaled. Taco Bell lives on its name and reputation alone. After they got rid of caramel apple empanadas, they now have 0 items over Del Taco.
